Pure. Beautiful. Rare.

The Birth of a Beautiful Dream

Battista 'Pinin' Farina. The
Picasso of the automobile world. Having designed some of the world's finest
automobiles, he had always dreamt of creating a car exquisite enough to bear his
name. And on March 4th, as Automobili Pininfarina unveiled Battista, the world
witnessed the future of the automobile. And the birth of a beautiful dream.

The Hypercar of the Future

With energising performance derived from optimised aerodynamics,
ground-breaking engineering
solutions and the extreme yet manageable power that electrification offers,
Battista truly is the future.

An Equilibrium of Extremes

It’s bold. It’s beautiful. And it’s breathtakingly powerful. With Battista, we
intend to push the boundaries of what’s possible. To change the way the world
perceives a hypercar. To achieve an equilibrium of extremes never seen before.

Technology

Picture this. Battista will produce nearly twice the power of a Formula 1 race
car. And will do this using cutting-edge all-electric Formula E technology.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? But that’s exactly what our illustrious
team of developers, along with our development driver, motorsport champion Nick
Heidfeld, have managed to achieve. Battista has proven that you can be
passionate about motorsports and sustainable innovation, at the same time.

Performance

Pininfarina has always been synonymous with the designs of the future. Now, with
Battista, we intend to create the technology of the future too. With an
all-electric battery and a motor that drives each wheel, Battista combines
extreme performance with zero emissions. A feat that would simply be impossible
to achieve with internal combustion technology. With 1900 horsepower and 2300
Nm of torque generated by its pure electric powertrain, Battista truly is the
hyper-GT of the future.

Range

Hypercars. And practicality. Two words that never belonged in the same
conversation. But that’s just about to change. The technology that drives
Battista can charge its batteries up to 80% in under 30 minutes, while churning
out a range of up to 450 kilometers on a single charge.

Carbon Fibre

To create the car of the future, we needed to look at the material of the future
– carbon fibre. Ten times stronger yet 5 times lighter than steel, it made
Battista’s monocoque design considerably lighter and gave it the structural
rigidity that was needed to create the hypercar of the future.

Masters at Work

With Battista, we want to give our customers an experience that’s
unlike anything they have ever known. Which is why we have assembled a truly global team of the
most illustrious business, technical and design innovators spanning across 13 countries.

“We have developed a sophisticated brief to deliver a ground-breaking all-electric
hyper GT car to clients from 2020, and now we are curating the network partners to
deliver this dream. The results will be electrifying for owners of Automobili
Pininfarina cars in the future! For Automobili Pininfarina, it will form the
cornerstone of our ambition to become the world’s most admired luxury electric
vehicle company.”

Michael Perschke

Chief Executive Officer
Automobili Pininfarina

“We want the future owners of Battista to develop a relationship with this car and
be proud of its provenance and what it says about them. So the design execution
will deliver both a reassuringly luxurious, comfortable and entertaining interior,
and a traditional ‘Pininfarina’ experience as a whole.
Pininfarina SpA’s historic values of elegance and simplicity provide us with a
great opportunity to stand out from the design of most current supercars and
hypercars.”

Luca Borgogno

Chief Design Officer
Automobili Pininfarina

“The opportunity to join the Automobili Pininfarina family and develop cars that
will deliver performance unlike anything before them is fantastic. I will continue
to race next year and I am looking forward to sharing my motorsport knowledge with
the new engineering and design team at Automobili Pininfarina, which will support
their ambition to create beautiful sports and luxury cars offering electrifying
performance on road and circuit.”

Nick Heidfeld

Development Driver
Automobili Pininfarina

“At Automobili Pininfarina, we want to provide our clients a lot of excitement, a
unique driving experience. For that, cars will have to change. From the older
internal combustion engines, we want to move to a new generation of all-electric
powertrains. That, we believe, is the future of the hypercar.”

Dr. Peter Tutzer

Technical Advisor
Automobili Pininfarina

“Now is the perfect time to transform the industry and I want to contribute a
little to the bigger picture, and push
something in the right direction. With Battista, we are sustainably creating a more
powerful hypercar than any before
it, with absolutely zero emissions from its innovative all-electric powertrain.”

Dr. Christian Jung

Chief Technical Officer
Automobili Pininfarina

"The time has come for an unbelievable fully electrified hypercar-dream. We now
have the first
time ever all the right
ingredients: the necessary cutting edge technology with an amazing design, and
talented people
and experts behind it to
make the performance dream come true. We are ready to write Automobili Pininfarina
history.”

PURA: Design DNA

We believe that the purest creations are those where the design, the
driving experience, the passenger experience and engineering, all play an equal role. This
design purity where form and function are inseparable, defines Automobili
Pininfarina’s design.

Timeless Design

Innovation in Aesthetics

Unveiled in 1947, this was the first car to be part of the permanent display
at
the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).

Purity. Beauty. Rarity.

Perhaps the most extraordinarily pretty car on the planet, it spawned a
number
of best-loved models from Ferrari’s illustrious catalogue.

Aesthetics and Functionality

A futuristic car that broke the fetters of the traditional style language;
quite
representative of the mood of the early seventies.

Luca Borgogno

“There is a purity in our
ambition, the styling of our cars and our
engineering focus on emissions-free sustainable performance. We have termed
this ‘PURA’, and it will define
everything we do in the coming years.”
